Clutch slipping but only at higher RPM's...

Hey guys I know this thread is old but I'm having the same issue at high rpms. So I'm looking around for clutch parts. Seems most vendors are only selling the friction plates. Is it ok to just change those and not the separator plates or springs?

I mean I can find both but we're talking upwards of $170 and that's not including a gasket or springs. Trying to keep it under $100 if possible.

 

The metal plate side reusable but you have to clean them off with the Scotch Brite pad and measure them for Warp. You should always replace the bolts and measure the springs still a good idea just to replace them.

Awesome. Great info. Thank you. I'll take a look and see how the plain plates look.

Any idea where to get a gasket? They seem few and far between.

Is that Len?

 

yes it is.

it is important to replace the clutch bolts the bolts are under a lot of operational stress.
the springs get weak. and dont hold the clutch plates tight.

you should open the cclutch up first to see what you need.
could just need springs and bolts if your lucky and the friction plates are in spec and metal plates just need cleaning and are not warped.

clutch grenading is not a pretty site..
I think polock has a few photos on the site
